Chapter, the all-day dining establishment at the new Conrad Beijing, makes no qualms about showcasing its own cultural pedigree through its breathtaking design.

In general, the restaurant exudes a casual atmosphere; families are welcomed with a cute list of kids' specials (65RMB) and a sumptuous buffet options (lunch 195RMB, dinner 258RMB) -- the food stations discreetly tucked in-between the shelves (a nice touch). Chapter easily has potential to become a popular dining option for special occasions. With such a grandiose motif, we really weren't expecting such refined food in s relaxed setting. Then again, you should never judge a book by its cover. Especially when that cover is for Furniture Culture.
